It's Halloween night

I was pleasantly surprised at how polite most of the kids were.  Most thanked me and were very pleasant, even the teenage kids.  The only kind of weird thing was a few adults showed up carrying toddlers who were obviously not old enough to eat candy or even know what Halloween is.  But they had their kid in a costume and I suppose even adults like free candy.  The smart kids showed up near the end of trick-or-treat hours because at that point I still had a ton of candy so I was just dumping it in their bags.  

Overall I enjoyed seeing all the cool costumes and the people braving the cold to still have some Halloween fun.  I think next year I might set up spooky Halloween decorations in my garage since it faces the street and sit out there to hand out candy.

Next year, grab a machete, bloody yourself up and play "let the bodies hit the floor" really loud. Maybe throw a few bloody, hacked up stuffed bodies around your porch.
